Engine 143 |
Along came the FFV, the swiftest on the line |
Running o’er the C. n’O Road |
Just 20 minutes behind |
Running into Souville headquarters on the line |
Receiving their strict orders |
From a station just behind |
Up the road she darted |
Against the rock she crushed |
Upside down the engine turned |
And Georgie’s breast did smash |
His head was against the firebox door |
The flames were rolling high |
«I'm glad I’m gonna be an engineer on the C. n’O Road to die.» |
The doctor said to Georgie |
My darling boy be still |
Your life may yet be saved |
If it is, God bless it will |
Oh, no, said George that will not due |
I want to die for free |
I want to die for the engine I love |
One hundred and forty three |
Announcer: That’s fine that was little 10 year old June singing for you. |
And what was the name of that number now? |
June: I was just going to sing Engine 143. |
